Quantum Computing Security Researcher

As a Quantum Computing Security Researcher, you bring deep expertise in mathematical methods for quantum computing, software development in Python, backed by a minimum MSc in Physics with a quantum physics focus. You have hands‑on experience developing software for quantum systems, or quantum technologies within embedded systems. You excel at modeling quantum threats — side‑channel attacks, adversarial pertubations, backdoors, — and translating into practical security defenses.
You will be one of Haste's first quantum security researchers pioneering defenses for quantum compute environments alongside HPC and AI workloads.

Key Responsibilities

Investigate side channels, adversarial perturbations, backdoors and quantum system vulnerabilities.

Develop Python research software and proof‑of‑concept implementations.

Translate findings into defenses and production‑grade requirements.

Document research through reports, whitepapers and demonstrations.

Monitor quantum security research, standards and frameworks.

Requirements

Minimum MSc in Physics focused on quantum physics.

Current residence in Germany or Austria.

Full‑time availability from December 1, 2026, remote from Germany or Austria only.

Quantum computing mathematics, Python development, quantum threat modeling and security engineering capabilities.
